Hi Jane and welcome. I would say NASM. I am not certified through this organization, but from what I know, it sounds like NASM would be a good match for your targeted population.

NASM or ACSM if want to work with dancers/performers? Hello, my name is Jane and I just joined this web forum!
My background is dance; I have taught aerobics,yoga and dance.
I am trying to get into personal trainer, as some of my students asked about it.
My intended clients are likely to be performers, who want to stay slim and lean, and they probably want to work on stimina; they are unlikely to be body builders or short distance runners.
What do you think would be a more appropriate certification, ACSM or NASM?
Any of your suggestion would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
Jane

If you have a question about personal training please post it on the forum instead of sending me an email or private message. Chances are your questions will help someone else. Thanks!
Both are fine. I mean both organizations focus on different stuff, but eventually you will have to tailor the program to your clients.
